Absolutely. The location and victims and the fact that it happened are newsworthy. The name of the person attacking is nearly irrelevant to public discourse except to sensationalize all the neighbors saying how quiet he was and his aunties saying he was such a good boy. Stop giving them the notoriety they crave, and it might prevent a couple of future attacks by someone feeling marginalized and anonymous.
I still have my 2000 and the Video Toaster for it (but not the drive array for the Toaster). I'd be interested in a mini version of an Amiga that hooks up to a USB keyboard and mouse, but I may as well just use UAE.
We've been told for years that having no laws and no regulations was a good thing, and that access equals ownership. So if these people have access, therefore have ownership, how could they steal what they own? Perhaps lessons like this will teach cryptobros why we have laws and regulations around money and other property, if they're capable of learning that and willing to do so.
East Texas is not desert. You're thinking of west Texas. Texas is a sizable state with green hills, subtropical beaches, mountains, plains, swamps, and yes, desert. East Texas is places like Beaumont, Lufkin, Marshall, Tyler, Texarkana, and Nacogdoches. It's forest, swamp, small towns, farms, ranches, and farm-to-market highways. Yes, oil fields can still be relatively remote, but it's not like they said this is west of Midland or north of El Paso. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
In the early days of certain groups or technologies, those people would often amass in a group for something related. They'd purposefully not create their own group too early, as doing so would put a small number of people at risk of being told their posts were off topic in the larger, older group. The Perl language, for one, got a good deal of its early following by people posting solutions in Perl to questions in the shell programming groups. It wasn't a flame war with one side shouting down the other, but it absolutely was recruiting by exposing another group to ideas in their own realm on purpose.

Perhaps AC meant that possessive pronouns do not take apostrophes.
US District Judge Miranda Du in Reno, in an order issued on Wednesday, found the law widely known as Section 1326 is based on “racist, nativist roots” and discriminates against Mexican and Latino people in violation of the equal protection clause of the Fifth Amendment.
Section 1326 of the Immigration and Nationality Act makes it a crime for a person to enter the US if they have been denied admission, deported or removed. It was enacted in 1952 using language from the Undesirable Aliens Act passed by Congress in 1929. Penalties were stiffened five times between 1988 and 1996 to increase its deterrent value.
Du said she considered written and oral arguments and expert testimony about the legislative history of the law from professors Benjamin Gonzalez O’Brien of San Diego State University and Kelly Lytle Hernandez of the University of California, Los Angeles.
“Importantly, the government does not dispute that Section 1326 bears more heavily on Mexican and Latinx individuals,” the judge said in her 43-page order dismissing the June 2020 criminal indictment of Gustavo Carrillo-Lopez.
“The government argues that the stated impact is ‘a product of geography, not discrimination,’ and that the statistics are rather a feature of Mexico’s proximity to the United States, the history of Mexican employment patterns and the socio-political and economic factors that drive migration,” Du wrote.
“The court is not persuaded.”
If I remember correctly, the Good Omens version of Famine is also responsible for obesity, the authors noting how people tend to consume empty carbohydrates and fats with little to none nutritional value, making people who are obese and paradoxically enough, malnourished at the same time.
Shut up, Donald. It would be way worse if it hits the USA, because at least in Mexico, people are not afraid of taking the kids to the doctor and get them vaccinated.
Our socialized medical care is far from perfect, but people don't have to go into debt for a hospital visit.
Inflation is not caused by economic growth, at least not directly. Growth leading to inflation is a false premise.
What causes inflation is an excess of money circulating in the general economy. Look at wealth and income inequality charts over the last 5, 10, 20 years. The growth in money spent is all going to a few super wealthy people at the very top who are hoarding it in their static wealth. It is not liquid money out circulating in retail and manufacturing, raising demand for products among the many. So price aren't rising.
Another factor is that many, many prices are by necessity tied to the price to produce refined petroleum products. The usable reserves have grown. There are more competitors drilling and extracting than before. The cost to process previously difficult to extract sand and tar oils (dig it up then break it down) have largely been supplanted by fracking. The major wars in oil-rich areas have settled somewhat. More homes and vehicles are being powered by other means. So those diesel surcharges from a few years ago that were part of every shipment of food, raw materials, or manufactured products no longer applies.The base cost of acquiring things has dropped, not risen.
A third factor is the scale of automation in the current economy. You're not calling to book a flight, then calling another number to book a hotel, and a third to book a car. You're doing it from a browser via an automated website that runs on automatically provisioned and automatically monitored web applications. You're sending emails, chats, or doing conference calls instead of tying ten cent per minute phone lines together in a hardware PBX. You're buying many of your physical goods from an app (phone app or web app) instead of a salesperson and cashier, and there's no showroom. Products have come down some in certain segments, but meanwhile much of the savings is more profit for the very rich mentioned before. Even basic consulting and product reviews are often crowdsourced. It's a service economy with the services automated. Those of us who still have work pay less than we might otherwise, at least until our jobs are also automated away.

Bitcoin is money because it can be traded for goods. Go to any of the dark markets and you can trade Bitcoin for damned near anything you want.
